'No football activities at Accra Sports Stadium '– NSA boss
The National Sports Authority (NSA) has clarified that there will be no football activities on the main pitch of the Accra Sports Stadium for now, as the facility undergoes preparations and maintenance ahead of upcoming international assignments.
The Accra Sports Stadium's main pitch will not host football activities for now due to preparations and maintenance. According to the National Sports Authority (NSA) Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, the facility will be closed until Ghana's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against The Gambia. This means Ghana Premier League clubs, including Hearts of Oak, that intend to use the stadium as their home venue will have to find alternative facilities.
The temporary closure is necessary to allow renovation and maintenance works to be carried out, ensuring the facility meets standards set by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The Black Stars will begin their AFCON qualifying campaign with an away fixture against Ivory Coast on September 24, 2026. Their first Group C home fixture against The Gambia will be held at the Accra Sports Stadium three days later.
The NSA has confirmed that the stadium will not be in use until the Black Stars' home game against The Gambia. Clubs will have to look for alternative venues, as per Adom Online.
